    Contributed by Cynthia Hinson on Jul 6, 2002
    based on 44 ratings
     | 13,198 views

    Tough, arrogant and persistent, sin (like nutgrass) will (in Malachi’s words) be burnt to stubble to make way for the Kingdom. Don’t be childish -- our faith is not a game. The prophets have warned us -- and now, someone greater than a prophet is here.

    Nutgrass of the Soul Matthew 11:2-30 Rev. Cynthia T. Hinson – St. Paul United Methodist Church – Conroe, TX – July 7, 2002 The very last book of the Old Testament is Malachi, and the last verses of the last chapter of that book read thus: 1 "For behold, the day comes, burning like an oven, when ...read more

    We tend to think of our spiritual gifts as unique units when they are all fruits or manifestation of the Holy Spirit within us. We have what I call "persistent" gifts but there are times when the Holy Spirit gives us other gifts for a season.

    In the wrinkles of this tragedy, God is present and working. He’s working to bring about His good and see His plans realized. It may not be a pretty picture at this point. But that just goes to show how broken our world is - and how persistent God is.

    God in the Ebb & Flow of Life: Betrayal and Burlap Scripture Text: Genesis 37.18-35 INTRODUCTION Last-week, I tried to lay the ground-work so that we would have a realistic picture of Joseph’s family-life. It isn’t pretty!... ...read more

    Satan and his organized legions constantly work to obstruct God’s plan. As believers, our greatest weapon is prayer. We can expect our greatest opposition when we are on our knees. So we must be persistent–praying until the answer is received.

    What God is about to do is so great, and so important and so impressive that what He has done in the past pales in comparison. If you persist in holding too tightly to the greatness of what He did in the past, you will miss the greatness of what He is goi

    Going with the flow, embracing change Isaiah 43:16-21 God’s changelessness is a powerful and important doctrine in our faith. God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19 ...read more

     | 4,791 views

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more
